Introduction to the High Temperature Oxidation of Metals
Abstract
A straightforward treatment describing the oxidation processes of metals and alloys at elevated temperatures. This 2006 second edition retains the fundamental theory but incorporates advances made in understanding degradation phenomena. The first half provides an authoritative introduction to the basic principles, covering thermodynamics and mechanisms of high temperature corrosion of metals and alloys. The latter half extends the discussion to oxidation processes in complex systems, from reactions in mixed environments to protective techniques, including coatings and atmosphere control. The authors provide a logical and expert treatment of the subject, producing a revised edition that will be a comprehensive guide to material scientists and engineers requiring an understanding of this elementary process.

The corrosion protection of stainless steels and FeCrAl alloys exposed in mildly corrosive environments relies on the formation of a slow-growing Cr-rich or Al/Cr-rich M2O3 oxide scale, i.e. the primary corrosion protection.
“It is well known that the corrosion protection of stainless steels and FeCrAl alloys exposed in mildly corrosive environments rely on the formation of a slow-growing Cr-rich or Al/Cr-rich M 2 O 3 oxide scale, i.e. the primary corrosion protection [1][2][3].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
